Original artwork

I wrote to him

Well this painting is my idea of heaven

Inspired by my own little budgie Almondine who greets me every morning with those very words

"first met Melissa when I was elected to the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 2008

Sirin Neutral Original artworkMixed Earthenware and terracotta clays decorated with slips and oxides. Multiple firings including smoke firings. Burnished with wax. In the past some said only happy people could hear a Sirin, others said they lured people to their death and would ring bells and shoot cannons to scare the bird away. More recently shes had a makeover and now symbolises heavenly happiness and eternal joy. . Or so they say.
